Crefeld Third division handball team HSG Krefeld Niederrhein won 31:26 at TuS Opladen, is five games unbeaten and made the best publicity for the home match against leader Emsdetten. Still top scorer of KC Brüren.

With a very confident away performance, HSG Krefeld Niederrhein snatched two points on Saturday at TuS Opladen with a 31:26 (16:13) win. With a consistently good defensive performance, they forced the hosts in the small Bielert sports hall to fail and made good use of their scoring chances in attack. Strong “KC” Brüren stood out again and scored ten goals. Since the Eagles won’t be playing next weekend, they can take a deep breath after the previous week’s flight and treat minor ailments. This is also necessary. Because on Saturday 22 October, at 19:00, in the 3rd league, Group West, there will be the highest match ever between HSG as second in the standings and TV Emsdetten as the unbeaten leader.

The HSG was accompanied to Opladen by a large number of its fans. They were stunned when Nick Braun came out on the left flank in place of Pascal Noll. Like Sven Bartmann, Noll had not trained during the week due to the flu. But they both sat on the bench. Christopher Klasmann has also been resting due to his Achilles tendon problems. Lasse Hasenforther was in goal.

Noll fell to the ground in the fourth minute for a seven-meter throw and safely turned the match into a 1-0 lead. Two minutes later, Lars Jagieniak beat his brother Jan on the circle and scored 3: 3. In the 10th minute Tim Claasen, who was again preferred to Merten Krings, scored 5: 4. Subsequently, the HSG did not lag behind until the end.

In the meantime it was 9: 9 because Captain Krings, who in the meantime had been substituted, did not celebrate a good start with three wrong shots. But then he provided the treatment for the whole game. With his back to goal and a backhand shot, he served Lars Jagieniak, who was completely free on the circle and scored 16:13 at half-time with his goal.

Jagieniak opened the second 30 minutes with his next goal. Opladen found no way to endanger the Eagles. Coach Mark Schmetz sent Loic Kaysen on the field, who immediately scored with a spin for 19:14. Philip Dommermuth also came to the club for Jagieniak.

After trailing six goals (46 minutes), the TuS manager took a break and moved his team to an attacking defense. But the Eagles gleefully downplayed their boot. After the hosts missed a seven-meter penalty and one was a sure bet for Hasenforther (51st), there is no denying the visitors’ success. Pascal Noll and Julian Athanassoglu were again used in the final stages. After the game ended, the Eagles celebrated the victory with their fans and thanked them for their support.

After the third away win, coach Mark Schmetz did not hesitate to praise his players: “Today we were clearly the best team from the first to the last minute and we took another step forward. I found the performance a step better than to Spenge in terms of security and sovereignty. It was really fun. “The fact that Bartmann and Klasmann were retired and that Noll was only used a little was no problem for Schmetz:” We have a large roster. players should have their chance. Braun, Obranovic and Kaysen did a great job after the break. “

Even though the Eagles won’t play next weekend, the coach will just change the training schedule a bit: “We only take Friday off so the players can have a long weekend. They deserve it.” keep the tension high: “We want to develop further. The match against Emsdetten is in two weeks. The first against the second is a home match. This is a great thing for our spectators. I hope the hall is really full.” .
